Student Learning Outcomes and Objectives:
Outcome 1: Create a force diagram of a specific mechanism or part. Then use the force diagram to generate a set of force and torque equations describing the mechanism or part to solve problems.
Outcome 2: Solve a truss problem using method of joints or method of sections and solve a frame problem by resolving the frame into its parts. Outcome 3: Solve problems in topics related to statics and strength of materials.
Course Objectives:
- Create a force diagram of a specific mechanism or part.
